As a beginner you can expect to be shown the fundamentals of modern close quater combat training in a safe, friendly enviroment where Chris will gradually introduce you to the complete no-holds barred style. We train in many different formats to test each tecnique to its limit before you decide which work best for you. There are no patterns or forms, no flashy kicks, no focusing of your internal energy - just self defense.

You will not find another martial arts style trained closer to the real thing.

If you already train in the martial arts why not test yourself in a less restrictive environment where kicks, punches, knees, elbows, throws, locks and strangles are all permitted.
